If you enjoyed works like Madeline Miller's Circe and Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls, you may be intrigued by the real women behind the myths of the Trojan War. Award-winning classicist and historian Emily Hauser embarks on an epic journey to reveal the astonishing true stories of these women, who are often overshadowed in ancient history. In Mythica, Hauser uncovers the extraordinary lives of queens, mothers, warriors, and slaves, challenging the notion that history is solely a male narrative. She delves into the history behind Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, utilizing original texts, recent archaeological discoveries, and the latest DNA studies to piece together their stories. This work highlights how these women—such as Helen of Troy, Briseis, Cassandra, and Penelope—navigated their lives and how history has remembered them, or failed to do so. Mythica offers a riveting new perspective on the Bronze Age Aegean, charting a journey through Homer's epics from a female viewpoint. It serves as a groundbreaking reassessment of the often-mythologized women of Greece's greatest legends and sheds light on the ancient world as we continue to learn more about it.

But the world they're making in their new city is growing, too, they hope. As they open up the horizons of their lives, what and whom will they hold onto, and what will they need to release?

The New York Times describes the subject as "the most important person you've never heard of." Partha Dasgupta offers a crucial framework for understanding the intersection of economics and ecology, emphasizing that our survival depends on recognizing the value of nature. He illustrates this with a metaphor of a football team that only measures success by goals scored, ignoring those conceded—reflecting how traditional economic models present an incomplete view. These models declare economic health based solely on growth, neglecting the fact that this growth relies on nature, a resource we mistakenly treat as infinite. Our unsustainable demand on the natural world necessitates a shift in perspective. In this groundbreaking work, Dasgupta proposes a new economic approach that values nature as we do other resources. He challenges existing paradigms and calls for a transformation in global economic structures. This urgent plea to rethink our relationship with nature and the economy could have profound implications for the future, making it a pivotal contribution to the discourse on sustainability and economic reform.
